people get exposed to it and some of them become obsessed to the point of watching it all the time and basing their clothing and friendships off it, or feeling like they are married to Rainbow Dash.

That seems to be a general pattern in any subculture, I don't think the MLP fandom is unusual in its distribution of strangeness for its size

Oh. Thanks. I've never seen this show and don't know much about it other than that it's oddly popular among people on Less Wrong.

Although, based on what you're saying, I guess it could be that people who are already insane are just especially attracted to My Little Pony for some reason.
